Chapter 89: How Did You Survive That?
William Scott changed the basin of water and returned to his room to wash up. However, it was much simpler for a man. He left his pants on and washed himself bare-chested.
After quickly cleaning himself, he was about to put on his shirt when Xenia Lewis suddenly turned around. Her eyes were filled with shock.
“Why are there… so many scars on your body?” Xenia Lewis pointed at William Scott’s chest and exclaimed.
He put on his shirt and smiled. “Isn’t it normal for soldiers to have a few scars on their bodies?”
Xenia Lewis jumped over and pulled up William Scott’s shirt. She looked at his chest and said, “A few? The scars are all over your body.”
William Scott smiled faintly and said, “This is a man’s pride.”
“Pride my *ss. Oh my God, it looks like your body has been slashed with a sharp weapon. Did someone slash you hundreds of times? How did you survive that?”
William Scott didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m still standing here. I don’t think I’m dead.”
At this moment, Xenia Lewis was actually a little excited. She said, “Damn, this is definitely a story. This is definitely an earth-shattering story. You haven’t even told me about it once.”
William Scott rolled his eyes and said, “Damn, I thought you were feeling sorry and sympathizing with me. It turns out that you’ve discovered a creative story.”
“Hehe, didn’t you say that? Since you’re standing here, you’re fine and alive. However, the story is worth digging into. I even feel that your story might be even more exciting than war.”
“You heartless fellow.” William Scott glared at Xenia Lewis before walking out with the basin.
When he returned again, Xenia Lewis grabbed his arm and walked towards the bed.
“What are you doing?” William Scott was shocked. Why did Xenia Lewis look like she was starving?
It was only when she pulled him to the bed that he hurriedly stopped her and said, “Xenia, what are you doing?”
Xenia Lewis giggled and said, “I’m waiting for you to tell me a story.”
“You scared me.” William Scott rolled his eyes at Xenia Lewis.
“I scared you?” Xenia Lewis was stunned for a moment. Then, she scoffed at him and hissed angrily, “As expected, men have lewd thoughts.”
William Scott grinned. There seemed to be no way to refute this.
“All right, I know you won’t bully me. If I don’t trust you, how can I pretend to be my sister? At the very least, I have to put on a show for your mother. Let’s not sleep tonight. Tell me a story for the entire night.”
William Scott smiled bitterly and said, “Xenia, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I can’t.”
She immediately frowned and said, “Why?”
“Because many of the things I do involve country secrets. They’re top secret. That’s absolutely off-limits.”
“Damn, you’re so powerful.” Xenia Lewis’ eyes lit up.
William Scott looked at her bright eyes and said, “That’s why I can’t tell you about this. Don’t have any other ideas. Moreover, even if you know, it’s absolutely impossible to use them as inspiration.”
“Okay, I understand.” Xenia Lewis pouted and looked very unhappy.
William Scott smiled and said, “All right, sleep well.”
Xenia Lewis snorted and twisted onto the bed. She lay with her back facing him.
William Scott shook his head, but for a moment, he really didn’t know what to do next. Should he lie on the bed too?
With a soft sound, Xenia Lewis raised her hand and turned off the lights in the room. The room fell into darkness.
The room instantly fell into a peculiar silence.
“Hey, why are you sitting there like a fool?” After more than ten minutes, Xenia Lewis finally broke the silence.
“I can sleep sitting down,” replied William Scott casually.
Xenia Lewis turned over. Her eyes had already adapted to the darkness in the room. Besides, there was still light outside. Through the curtains, it didn’t make the room completely dark. She looked at William Scott sitting by the bed obediently and said, “You should come to the bed. Otherwise, it will really feel like I’m bullying you.”
William Scott hesitated for a moment before climbing onto the bed. However, he laid close to the edge. The distance between him and Xenia Lewis was enough for another person to lie in between them.
Xenia Lewis burst out laughing and said, “Are you afraid that I’ll molest you? Don’t fall to the floor.”
William Scott chuckled and said, “It’s fine. I definitely won’t fall.”
“All right, come closer. I’m not even afraid of you, yet you’re so afraid of me. Seriously.” Xenia Lewis reached out and pulled William Scott.
Since Xenia Lewis had insisted, William Scott felt that he would be unreasonable if he insisted on sleeping on the edge. He moved closer to her. At the very least, he could lie flat on the bed, but there was still a distance between him and her.
The two of them fell silent again. After about ten minutes, Xenia Lewis whispered softly, “Are you asleep?”
William Scott did not say anything. He wanted to pretend to be asleep so that she could sleep in peace.
Xenia Lewis kicked him and said softly, “Stop pretending. I know you’re not asleep. Tell me a story. Tell me something without confidential information, but it has to be something special. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep.”
William Scott said helplessly, “The people here wake up at dawn. We also have to get up by then. You should sleep early.”
“No, just tell me one story. I’ll sleep after you tell me, okay?” Xenia Lewis grabbed William Scott’s arm and shook him gently.
“All right, I’ll tell you.” He really had no resistance to her when she behaved this way.
“I knew you were the best.” Xenia Lewis cheered and moved closer to William Scott. She raised her head and said, “Tell me.”
She suddenly erased the distance between them, but William Scott did not have any other thoughts. Instead, he felt very close to her. Xenia Lewis felt more like a younger sister.
“Let me tell you a story about when I first entered the Special Forces. That was the first time I had my first mission. During the course of the mission, we were ambushed. A few of my team members were injured, but the other party paid an even heavier price. We killed thirteen people and captured another captive. However, we didn’t expect that captive to be a woman. She was extremely beautiful. Her leg was hit by a bullet…”
